SUMMARY:Live Music: Nathan & The Zydeco Cha Chas
DESCRIPTION:Nathan Williams began his professional music career at 21\, recording for his brother Sid's El Sid label and performing at Sid's venue\, El-Sid-O's. His big break came when Buckwheat Zydeco recommended him to Rounder Records\, leading to a contract and the 1985 formation of Nathan & the Zydeco Cha-Chas\, a band inspired by Chenier and featuring family members like his brother Dennis Paul and cousin Mark Anthony "Chukka" Williams. Debuting at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 1988\, the band became a fixture at the New Orleans Rock 'n' Bowl\, captured in their 1997 live album\, I'm a Zydeco Hog. Williams\, who took up the accordion while recovering from an illness\, blends zydeco with jazz\, blues\, and R&B\, and he's been noted for his role in revitalizing the genre\; his 1995 album\, Creole Crossroads\, also featured a rare fusion with Cajun fiddler Michael Doucet. For over three decades\, the Zydeco Cha-Chas\, managed by Sid\, have toured extensively\, bringing their music from local Louisiana spots to international stages\, even becoming the first zydeco band to play in Poland.
